About Jessica

Jessica Henderson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with grief, trauma and domestic violence concerns, and works with issues around self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her background in mental health nursing informs how she responds to difficult or overwhelming moments.

She draws on person-centred practice to build a respectful, warm working relationship. That means she listens first and helps people shape the conversation around what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural strategies when thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way of daily life. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings.

Jessica adapts the pace to how someone feels and what they can manage right now. With three years of experience and the NCPS credential, she combines hands-on mental health work with counselling techniques. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines.

Taking a first step can feel hard. Jessica aims to make that step clearer by helping people set small, realistic goals and by talking through actions that fit their life.

How Jessica's approaches work online

Jessica uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person's concerns lead the conversation. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and to clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical exercises that reduce anxiety and improve mood; it often involves small tasks to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica discusses options with each person and decides together which methods to try, based on needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as things change so sessions stay relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or help when video is not possible. Live chat or messaging suits shorter updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping the focus on what the person wants to achieve.
